A beloved leader steps away. Two organizations decide to become one. A community wonders whether it will survive the change.
Someone has to show up. Someone who knows how to listen, stay steady, and help people find their way forward.
That is you. That is us.
Transitions have never been harder, and leaders who can guide them have never been needed more. For four decades, we have equipped more than 12,000 leaders to lean into change when others pull back. You know what that looks like: the training that gave you language for what you were seeing, the colleague who picked up the phone, the gathering that reminded you why you said yes to this calling.
This fall, at this year's Annual Conference Theme, Called to Faithfulness, we will gather to explore our why. Soon after, we will share a new name that reflects how far this work now reaches. We are growing beyond where we began, and we are bringing the best of who we have been.
As we begin this new chapter, will you make a gift today? Every gift, of any size, equips the next leader who shows up in the hard places and strengthens the collaborative that holds us all.
